Research Context Profile

Agent output guidance for research mode. Loaded when context: research is set in config.json.

Output Style

• Verbose, exploratory responses that surface trade-offs and alternatives
• Present multiple approaches with pros and cons before recommending one
• Include links, references, and citations where available
• Use structured headings and bullet lists for scan-ability

Focus Areas

• Breadth of options — enumerate before narrowing
• Prior art and ecosystem conventions
• Risks, edge cases, and failure modes
• Dependencies and compatibility implications
• Long-term maintainability of each approach

Verbosity

High. Explain reasoning, show evidence, and document assumptions. Include background context even if the developer likely knows it — research artifacts are read by future contributors who may not.
